The Viscount Legend ONE 61 Stage Keyboard represents the perfect fusion of authentic vintage organ tones and modern performance versatility. Designed for the discerning keyboardist who demands both portability and premium sound quality, this 61-key instrument delivers professional-grade performance in a compact, road-ready package.
At its heart lies Viscount's acclaimed Tonewheel Modeling Technology (TMT), which faithfully recreates the warmth and character of legendary tonewheel organs including the Hammond B3, C3, and A100 models from various eras. The technology captures every nuance of these vintage instruments, from the iconic key click and harmonic percussion to the complex crosstalk and mechanical character that made these organs legendary.
The instrument features semi-weighted waterfall keys that provide the authentic tactile experience organ players expect while remaining versatile enough for piano and synthesizer playing styles. With four independent sound layers — Organ, Sound 1, Sound 2, and Pedals—the Legend ONE 61 offers unprecedented flexibility for creating complex, layered soundscapes.
Beyond its exceptional organ capabilities, the keyboard includes 119 meticulously sampled sounds captured using High Definition Sampling technology. This premium library spans acoustic pianos, electric pianos, strings, pads, choirs, brass, guitars, chromatic percussion, bells, and synthesizers, providing the sonic palette needed for any musical genre or performance situation.
The Legend ONE 61's comprehensive control surface features 20 drawbars (9 upper, 9 lower, and 2 for pedals), allowing for precise tonal shaping and real-time sound manipulation. The intuitive interface includes modulation and pitch wheels, while a crisp 128 x 64 OLED display provides clear visual feedback during setup and performance.
Sound sculpting capabilities are extensive, with a sophisticated effects engine offering 14 effect types across three processing stages (two insert effects and one master effect), totaling 108 effect presets. The dedicated reverb section provides 13 distinct reverb types, from intimate rooms to expansive halls and classic spring reverbs. A programmable 3-band master EQ ensures your sound sits perfectly in any mix.
The rotary speaker emulation deserves special mention, offering eight presets plus one fully customizable configuration where you can adjust model type, microphone setup, Memphis-style characteristics, stop position, drum and horn balance, rotor speeds, rise and fall times, direct level, output level, and equalization. This level of control allows you to dial in everything from subtle vintage warmth to aggressive, overdriven Leslie tones.
With 396 program memory slots organized into 99 banks of 4 programs each, you can store and instantly recall your custom setups, making the Legend ONE 61 an ideal choice for players who need quick sound changes during live performances.
The keyboard's construction reflects its professional pedigree. Built with a solid wood and metal chassis, it achieves the perfect balance between durability and portability, weighing just 10 kilograms. This robust yet lightweight design makes it an ideal companion for touring musicians who need reliable performance night after night without the burden of excessive weight.
Connectivity is comprehensive and modern, featuring multiple audio outputs (main stereo, auxiliary, and dedicated pedal outputs), analog input for integrating external sound sources, MIDI In/Out with soft-thru and pedalboard input, USB connectivity for both audio/MIDI interface and device connection (supporting pen drives and battery charging), and a dedicated 11-pin rotary speaker connection. The instrument also accommodates expression pedals, damper pedals, rotary switches, foot controllers, and foot switches.
The Legend ONE 61 can function as a powerful master keyboard with three external zones assignable to Upper, Lower, and Pedals parts, complete with independent MIDI channel assignment and control over program changes and bank selection. This makes it an excellent hub for controlling external sound modules or software instruments.
Whether you're laying down classic jazz organ grooves, churning out rock anthems with overdriven Leslie tones, providing gospel accompaniment with rich harmonic textures, or exploring modern electronic soundscapes, the Viscount Legend ONE 61 provides all the tools needed to bring your musical vision to life. Its combination of authentic vintage character, modern versatility, and road-worthy construction makes it an exceptional value for professional keyboardists and serious enthusiasts alike.
